Which  of  the  following  actions should you take to prevent the distributor  pump  and  circulation system  from  clogging  up  because  of bitumen  setting  up  and  hardening in the system? 1. When  used,  you  should  flush out  the  pump  and  circulating system at the end of the day 2. Flush out the pump and circulating  system  at  least once a week 3. Wash the outside of the pump with  solvent  weekly 4. Circulate  bitumen  through  the pump daily 12–55.

The  emulsified  asphalt  will separate and set in much less time than cutbacks 3. The  emulsified  asphalt  will expand and damage the tank 4. The  emulsified  asphalt  will evaporate  resulting  in  the loss of material 12–57. To  prevent  sticking,  you  must  take what action to prepare the bed of a  dump  truck  before  loading  hot– mix asphalt into it? 1. Spray the bed with water 2.

If the dump bed does not,   what  action  should  you  take? 1. Do not use the truck 2. Shovel the material by hand into the hopper 3. Add an apron with side plates to increase the overhang of the dump bed 4. Raise the dump bed only halfway 12-60.
